is to slug a native and make a run for it, only to be dragged down by superior numbers. Actors in movie fights are supposed to pull their punches but the slightest error in timing means a real shock. Maybe Grant remembers the one Victor McLaglen gave him on location. Anyway, his timing is perfect now. He seems to give the native a terrific blow, but when the shot is over the man gets up nonchalantly. "If you think I’m good," says Cary, “you ought to see how the Hollywood stunt men do *ft. I can fake onlv three punches, a right hook, a left hook and an uppercut. Stunt men can hit from any angle and just brush you."

! Prime Minister Neville Chamber1 lain. . Daladier spent nearly the entire ! 90 minutes of the cabinet session i -r-a formal council of ministers ! under President Albert Leßron — : explaining the circumstances of virtual ultimatum for acceptance of his demand that part i of the Sudeten area be ceded to Germany. He said that he and Prime Minister Chamberlain thought it best to meet Hitler's demands without I wholly dismembering Czechoslo-1 vakia. He replied to a cross fire of questions chiefly concerning the future of France's alliances. There was a vote, and unani- 1 mous approval, and the cabinet issued the following brief com-' munlque: “M. Daladier and M. Bonnet ' (Georges Bonnet, foreign minis- , I ter) reported on the London I negotiations and the conditions ‘ under which Franco-British agreement was reached "The council of ministers unanimously approved M. Daladier's declarations and attitude, and the solution proposed in agreement with Britain." | It was evident that Daladier was undeterred by a clamor of ; protest against his program. As soon as Daladier had obtain- . ed the cabinet's approval of his plan, Bonnet went to the foreign ’ oiffce and there handed the text I of the program to Dr. Stefan j Osusky. the Czechoslovak minister. for transmission to Prague. It was decided not to publish the plan until the Czechoslovak government had received it. Daladier. however, seemed to ’' leel that it must be accepted. ;| o Storm Warnings Are - Issued In Florida Miami.
